host: thank you for your call from michigan. let's listen to governor romney and rick perry sparing about jobs. >> governor romney left the private sector. he did a great job of creating jobs around the world. when he moved that experience to government, he had one of the lowest job creation rates in the country. his public sector record did not match his private sector record. we created more jobs in the last four months in texas than he has in the last four years. >> i disagree with that. texas is a great state. no state tax. they have a lot of oil and gas in the ground. governor perry doesn't believe he created those things. it would be like al gore saying he invented the internet. host: back to your calls. independent. you are on the air. caller: last night's debate was a joke. this was all planned to stimulate an increased hope for rick perry. i watched chris matthews the last few weeks. it's disgusting what the political arena of broadcasters are doing. the questions just weren't right. the only one that spoke well to me w
